Gettin’ By Steve Earle

[Verse 1]
Hi buckaroos
Steve Earle again
Trying my best to be Jerry Jeff Walker once more
Don't ask me how I did it
Just did it like you knew it
I've been down this road once or twice before

[Chorus]
Just gettin' by on gettin' by is my stock-in-trade
Living it day-to-day
Just picking up the pieces wherever they fall
Just lettin' it roll
Lettin' the high times carry the low
Just living my life easy come, easy go

[Verse 2]
Just last week I was thinking
Ah, it's record time again
I can see Danny Goldberg passing the floor
Oh Danny, don't you worry
Something's bound to come out
We've been down this road once before

[Chorus]
Just gettin' by on gettin' by is my stock-in-trade
Living it day-to-day
Just picking up the pieces wherever they fall
Just lettin' it roll
Lettin' the high times carry the low
Just living my life easy come, easy go
